Ugh. I don't know what's happening here, but it definitely doesn't look good.
Dimitri

Can this really be the Rite of Rising... What precisely is going on?
Linhardt

Their blood is being drained and then transformed into...raw power...
Linhardt
volume_up

Ugh... I... That's a lot of blood. Too much blood. This is hard to watch.

Could you step within the magical vortices beside us to obstruct their flow? Quickly, now!
Constance
volume_up

It is crucial to halting the Rite of Rising!
Constance
volume_up

The vortices are repelling the Crests of the Apostles! We can't block them ourselves!
If you place someone other than those students from the Ashen Wolves House on top of the four vortices, you can thwart the Rite of Rising.
There are 20 turns until the ritual is complete. Stop the Rite of Rising before it's too late.
Yuri

Look, we really want to help, but right now, we just can't. Please do what you can!

So this is how it feels. Infinite power flowing forth from the chalice...
Aelfric

Without the chalice's protection, I doubt anyone will survive.

Hilda

So this will kill everyone, including your allies, and you don't even care?! We have to stop this now!

It seems I cannot move until the rite is completed. I must hurry, then.
Aelfric
volume_up

Draw more of their essence forward. Do whatever you must to make this work.
Apostate
volume_up

Yes, sir!

Constance
volume_up

Well done! But you must stanch the flow from the other vortices too!
While a unit is placed on top of the vortex, place other units on top of the other vortices.
Aelfric
volume_up

No... No! Stop them!

Aelfric

The ritual—it cannot fail!
Claude
volume_up

Now that we've stopped the ritual, all that's left on the agenda is defeating Aelfric!
Aelfric
volume_up

It matters not whose blood it is anymore. Even if I must use your blood to see this through, I will!

Not yet... There's still time!

In the end, like all birds of prey, you'll turn on your master as easily as you'd turn on your victims.
Yuri

Nothing and nobody can shackle me. A caged bird never sings.

Attack: Balthus - Aelfric

Balthus
volume_up

I owe you a lot but not my life. Not an even trade in my book.
Aelfric
volume_up

I feel some remorse over what I will require of you. But take it, I must. I will not shrink away from what is necessary.
Balthus
volume_up

That a fact? Then I guess a fight was inevitable.
Aelfric
volume_up

Ever the brutish thug.

Constance

The bill has come due for your misdeeds, Aelfric.

It matters not. She is all that matters. She alone.

Ahaha! Then if words shall not sway you, let us proceed to actions!

Attack: Hapi - Aelfric

Aelfric

You're not as angry as I'd have expected, Hapi.

I guess I'm used to betrayals by now.
Hapi

But that doesn't mean I'm going to sit on my hands and let you hurt me and my friends.

Aelfric
